Attorney General Kathleen Kane is getting blasted for her defense against criminal charges she faces.

Kane is trying to connect her charges to the scandal known as "Porngate" that brought down several other state leaders.

In a public statement she made Wednesday, Kane called on Judge William Carpenter of Montgomery County to remove a court order she says is stopping the release of all of the emails.

Now, Carpenter says Kane has not officially asked for them.

For now, the judge says he's not taking any action. He says the emails are already in Kane's possession and were never part of the investigation that led to her being charged with leaking a secret case.

Kane's office says her lawyers will request the emails next week.

Kane says the inappropriate email messaging by Attorney General Office employees happened before she came into power, and will prove she is innocent.
